The local shop ordered the smalls and based on feel between them and the larges, I went for the smalls. They work every bit as well as I had hoped/imagined. Left them slightly loose for the test ride for easy/quick adjustment and had them to my liking right away. I'm a cheap sucker but have absolutely no problem what so ever that these things were as pricey as they were. Well worth the money for me.
Thanks again for the assistance.
